I don't usually get singles(I'm more of a full album person).

I think my least fav. song would have to be Pretty Baby. It's kinda dorky but eh I will listen to it XD Favorite song/single? Do I really have to choose? D: That would take a couple of hours to figure that out.

Favorite video? I love Ordinary Day or Nolita Fairytale.

Least favorite? Maybe Hands on Me. I felt like there wasn't much going on but I love the song <3.

Most Favorite Single: Pretty Baby (that song pulls at my heart strings)
Least Favorite Single: I don't know that I have one! V has made great single choices.

Favorite Video: White Houses/ Nolita Fairytale
Least Favorite: Hands on Me/ Ordinary Day (I liked bits of HoM but can't seem to enjoy Ordinary Day, it's too "manufactured" feeling.)

Favourite singles:
White Houses & San Francisco

Least favourite:
Vanessa's cover of Paint it Black (not that it was bad it just didn't tie in with the rest of the album and she doesn't need to do covers of other peoples songs)

Favourite vid:
White Houses (my favourite video EVER)

Least favourite:
Pretty Baby

Great topic idea! :D

Ah, by singles, do we mean official singles, or just individual songs? I never really got how that worked xD

Going by the official single list off the trusty wikipedia (xD): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Carlton_discography

Favourite single: I honestly can't pick!! It depends what mood I'm in..at the moment it's Nolita Fairytale, but the most played one on my iPod is Ordinary Day
Least favourite: Probably Pretty Baby..

Favourite video: White Houses - is it just me, or does the bit where the dancing Vanessa start singing ("maybe you were all faster than me") give goosebumps? Vanessa can dance <3 <3
Least favourite video: Probably Pretty Baby again xD And I wasn't really a fan of the Ordinary Day video..the idea was interesting though..

I didn't like the 'Ordinary Day' video either, but I loved the 'Hands On Me' one! Why didn't you like it?

It isn't just you! The 'White Houses' music video is absolutely beautiful. I also really liked the part where she manages to pick herself off the ground using just her feet. I'm still astounded at how she managed that.

Vanessa can seriously dance. And me too, I get the goosebumps. It was such a moment of transcendence.

Mines are exactly as Giuliana's except for one.

Favorite Single:
White Houses
(I think the same about Who's to Say)

Least Favorite Single:
Pretty Baby

Favorite Video:
White Houses
(Gotta love that awesome moonwalk)

Least Favorite Video:
Pretty Baby

The songs that became singles are my least favourite ones (except White Houses and maybe Hands on Me). ATM, Ordinary day, Pretty Baby and Nolita Fairytale. I almost never listen those. Does it happen to anyone else?

ps: Is there a "What's your favourite album" topic? Can't seem to find it.

I'm like that too, except with White Houses, which is my favorite song ever. I'm usually more into the other tracks on the album, like 'San Francisco', 'Private Radio' and 'Annie' from Harmonium and 'My Best', 'Spring Street' and 'Fools Like Me' from Heroes & Thieves.

I tried looking for a 'favorite album' thread, but came up cold. You should go ahead and start one!
